The nature and scope of the underlying assurance work is similar under both NZ SRE 2410 and ISAE (NZ) 3000 (Revised) and SAE 3100 (Revised), however the assurance report will have some differences, for example reference will be made to a different assurance standard.
Performing the limited assurance engagement on the full-year and half-year disclosures in accordance with ISAE (NZ) 3000 (Revised) and SAE 3100 (Revised):
- Applies many of the same requirements regardless of whether the practitioner is performing a reasonable or limited assurance engagement and makes it clear where the differences are.
- Promotes consistency in practice.
- Enables the same level of confidence in the underlying information.
- Is future proof, i.e., it provides for a transition to reasonable assurance if deemed appropriate in the future.
